Message of Director General

Dear Esteemed Visitors,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I extend a warm welcome to all those who visit the Online Web Portal of the Exploration & Excavation Branch of the Antiquities & Archaeology wing, Government of Sindh.

Our journey into the past, particularly the exploration and excavation of the great Indus Valley Civilization, has been a source of immense pride for the Antiquities and Archaeology department. The unveiling of this web portal marks a significant milestone in our commitment to make the rich tapestry of our archaeological endeavors accessible to the wider public.

This platform is designed to provide online access to a treasure trove of research papers and field diaries meticulously compiled by our dedicated field officers. These individuals, with their passion and expertise, have been at the forefront of uncovering the mysteries of the Indus Valley Civilization. Now, their valuable insights and findings are available to you, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourselves in the historical narrative of our region.

I am particularly delighted to highlight the inclusion of an Advanced Scientific Laboratory dedicated to the preservation of artifacts discovered during excavations across different sites. This laboratory underscores our unwavering commitment to not only excavating the past but also ensuring the proper care and conservation of the artifacts that connect us to our heritage.

The website is crafted to be an inclusive space, inviting the common public to explore and engage with the ongoing exploration and excavation projects undertaken by the Antiquities and Archaeology department. It is our sincere hope that this initiative fosters a sense of curiosity, appreciation, and connection to the rich cultural legacy that surrounds us.

I extend my gratitude to the entire team involved in making this project a reality and express my sincere appreciation for their dedication and hard work.

As you navigate through the Online Web Portal, may you discover the wonders of the past and join us in our mission to preserve, celebrate, and share the heritage of the great Indus Valley Civilization.

Warm regards,

Mr. Manzoor Ahmed Kanasro

Director General
